In Florida, the issues might be different because the land is so close to
water level and floods occur. Since your land is on a canal.... For those of
you who may be unaware, alligators do swim in the canals and come on land
during floods. But a lot of condos in the Delray area do have ground level
entrances.

Hooray!!! Your kids must be in college now! Do you have pictures or floor
plans up anywhere?
